The original meaning of "harmony" is that the oriole and the phoenix sing together, which means that the couple or lovers are in harmony. Among them, "oriole" refers to oriole, also known as oriole, which is a kind of bird with good singing and beautiful voice. "Phoenix" is a phoenix, a bird in the ancient legend of China, representing auspiciousness and happiness.
The origin of this idiom can be traced back to ancient literary works, such as Nan Zhou Guanju in The Book of Songs, in which Guanju's pigeon is in Hezhou. The beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. "Pigeons are a kind of phoenix. In addition, there are "we hope to fly in the sky, the wings of two birds are one, and they grow together on the ground, two branches of a tree." The "two-winged bird" in Song of Eternal Sorrow refers to an oriole and a phoenix.
In addition to the original meaning, Ying Feng and Ming Can are also used to describe other forms of intimate relations, such as the profound friendship between friends and the tacit understanding between confidants. This relationship is characterized by mutual understanding, mutual support and mutual echo, just like an oriole and a phoenix singing together.
In a word, this idiom is a metaphor for the beautiful emotional communication and intimate relationship between people through the image of birds, expressing people's yearning and praise for love and common life.
In addition, this idiom can also be used to describe the harmony between husband and wife or lovers. This relationship is characterized by mutual care and support in life, mutual understanding and mutual recognition in spirit. They are like orioles and phoenixes, singing to each other and sharing the beauty of life.
